There are two “seasons” for music lessons. The main season runs from Sept to June, the summer season runs through July & August.
We operate all year round, but during the summer season as most people take time off we operate 2 to 3 days of the week and the instructor roster may become limited. When you Register for the main season and you wish to continue through the summer, your scheduled time will likely change for that period.
When you do register for a series, your scheduled time will be spread from the date of registration to the end of June in order to protect your place.
You may change your spot at any time as long as the schedule permits.
For families with more than one student we do our best to schedule everyone at the same time or as close to each other as possible. If we are unable to do so right away please keep checking in with us to see if the opportunity to adjust your schedule arises.
We offer 2 recitals per year, December and June.
In the spring you may reserve ahead for the September season. Doing so offers you a much higher chance of getting your preferred time slot. Reservations are dated and attended to on a first come first serve basis.
